A month of live broadcasts of Metropolitan Opera overflow the hall in Cinema City Sofia before we can get in the queue. So we dropped Love Elixir and La Boheme, so now we are publishing the show in advance until the end of the season, and you are waiting for tickets (15/18BGN) at cinemacity.bg - they run them a week or two before the dates.

Awards in laurel twigs, Oscar nominations in numbers, top actors in closeup and in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Do you imagine walking barefoot on the rough sand of the Sonora Desert in Mexico to start a new life in the States? It is unimaginable for us before we agree to go this way alone - into a dark hut in Fondazione Prada on the outskirts of Milan, where Alejandro G.

This year's festival selection is making us feel as if we were standing in front of flamboyant table. We would eat this six movies right now, and after the degustation between 11th and 22nd of May, we're waiting for them to come to Bulgaria.

In 2014 the British Download Festival celebrates its eleventh birthday with three days of hard rock on five stages at Donington Park. Why are we filling your heads with facts about faraway places and long-gone times? Because the situation now is "one cinema ticket and you're there".

We have climbed this hillside but only at the cinema and at home. Lord of the Rings in Concert is another thing - be quiet, the conductor raises his baton for the second part on 19 December at Arena Armeec.

Remember how last December we shed a few tears while watching The Lord of the Rings in Concert at Arena Armeec? On November 7 and 8 the same will happen with The Godfather – minus the tears, as this saga isn’t too fond of cry-babies.
